Sometimes you’ve just gotta treat yourself. Do something you love. Buy something you want.

Or, if you’re like us – eat some cheese! If cheese was better for us then we’d live off it – but it’s not so we don’t! However, like most things in life – it’s great in moderation.

Chuck in some pesto (basil has some amazing nutritional properties!), tomato and spinach and you’re well on the way to having a brilliant light meal that’s high in taste, vitamin A and calcium. And cheese.

Did we mention there’s cheese in it? :))

You might have noticed we also push spinach a lot in our blog – and there is a reason for that. Healthline named it as top of the list for most nutrient-dense vegetables .

It’s packed full of vitamins K and A, B2 and B6, C and E, iron, magnesium, calcium and potassium. Incredible.
